Just a few days late! But, my friends, we have a for REAL walker!!!!! Whitten has been taking steps between things since 13 1/2 months, but about a week ago he found the courage to walk across the room!! And on his 15 month birthday (the day after his ER visit for croup) he has decided that walking is just way too cool!!! However, if he really wants something, he instantly drops down to his knees and speed crawls! But I love love love a waddle walk! It's just the best!
-You spent the night before your 15 month birthday in the ER with croup. You still feel pretty crummy, but seem to be on the mend.
-No more bottles! We completely stopped about 2 weeks ago! You were getting one right before bed, but one night you drank your night time milk out of a sippy cup, and that was it! You certainly don't get as much milk as you used to, but you get enough! You drink a cup in the morning and a cup at night!
-You are coming a long (a little) in the eating department! However, you still like baby food! That's the only way I can get veggies down you, so I guess as long as you will eat it, I will give it. You had 1/2 a grilled cheese today and even ate half of my turkey sandwich! If I'm eating something and you aren't in your highchair, you always want a taste! Maybe we should try broccoli like that!
-You still only have 3 teeth, but your second bottom tooth is peeking through. Should be here any day!
-Still sleeping through the night with an occasional cry out that requires about 30 seconds of rocking to get you back to sleep!
-Can I say MOMMA'S BOY with a capital...everything! Goodness gracious gravy marie!!! You would love to be attached to me at all times of the day! I love it most of the time, unless I need to cook dinner or....go to the bathroom! I don't know how many times you've sat on my lap while I've sat on the potty because you just can't stand not being with me! DeeDee say's I'm paying' for my raisin'!!
-You are so sneaky and are in to e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g! We will tell you not to touch something and as soon as we are out of sight, you go right back to doing what you were doing! I foresee some spankings in your future!! ; )
-You love to play in your brother's room with all of his toys! You often disappear in to his room to play or the office to love on Betty!
-You still sign all done and milk, but have given up the more sign because you can say it. However, you still grunt or gripe when you want something and sometimes forget that you can say it!!!!!
-You can point to your belly, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hair.
-Words: ba=ball, ca=car, mo=more, ba=bye bye, apple (but most of the time it comes out of pull). Nothing really new this month. I think you have been focusing on walking instead of talking!
-You still do the sounds for cow and cat. Our new sound is elephant...which is adorable. And sometimes monkey.
-You love your shape and farm puzzle and get the pieces in the right place some of the time.
-You love books and will flip through them all day. However, you don't have pointing down yet. So you aren't really identifying anything yet. I can see your brain working and know it's just around the corner.
-You can throw a fit like nobody's business! It's so funny to watch you on the tile because you want to throw yourself down, but instead, will slowly lower your self to the floor so you don't get hurt! Cooper was not a fit thrower, so this is new territory for us!
-You're such a little love bug these days! You love to snuggle and be held. You give the sweetest kisses in the world.
-You love DeeDee and Grandpa!
-Mommy keeps forgetting to work on stacking! So bad, I know! That's on my to-do list!
-18-24 month clothes
-Size 4 diaper
-You love the Veggie Tales song and will sometimes try to sing it with Cooper!
-Your love for cars and trucks continues grow daily! You could push a car around the house all day long and be perfectly content!
-Your personality is NOTHING like your big brothers! Y'all are completely different in every way! I can't wait to see what you will be like in a couple of years!
***You have been a very healthy little guy until recently. You had your first ear infection about 2 weeks ago (double). You ended up in the ER 4 nights ago due to croup. It still hasn't really cleared up. After your check up today, it was discovered that you had a yucky throat! So, back on antibiotic! Hoping this clears it all up and you can get back to being your sweet self!
Whitten's 15 month stats
Weight: 22.1 lbs. (20%)
Height: 31 1/2 inches (50%)
Head circumference: 18 in (10%)
Cooper's 15 month stats
DITTO!!!!!
Whitten weighs one more ounce than Coop did at this age! Everything else is the exact same!!!
Seems as if Whitt has leveled off a bit in everything! Still growing, just not in huge leaps like he has in the past!
Sweet (and Sour) Whitt
Coop at 15 months
